Question

what is semi solid ??​

Answer 1

$semi = halfly \\ solid = hard \: type \: of \: substance$

semi solid is the substance which is softer than solid but harder than liquid.

it's state is between solid and liquid.

hope it will help you

brainliest please

Answer 2

Answer:

We have always been taught that matter has three states:

Solid

Liquid

Gas

There is no argument over this statement. However, setting this in mind arises the question like you have just asked. I wondered about that too! In particular I would wonder ‘in which state to put the powdered chalk’.

Then I studied thermodynamics which broadened my views regarding states of matter. Matter has three states:

Solid

Fluid

Plasma

Solid, as you know, is the state of matter that is rigid (elastics limits apply, of course). Internally, the atoms are very stable with respect to their mean positions. The atoms in solids just vibrate about their mean position and are not free to move. That’s solid.

Start heating the solid. The atoms would start gaining kinetic energy and eventually they would have gained kinetic energy just too much to be stable in their mean position. That’s fluid. At start the viscosity is just too much that the fluid is very thick and is not much different than solid (like shoe polish which a fluid but it’s just too viscous to flow; this is what is commonly known as semi-liquid state). Keep heating it and the viscosity drops and the fluid (now it becomes like honey; it barely flows. Nonetheless it’s very much liquid than shoe-polish is). Going further, the matter becomes a very good liquid (low viscosity; you will not dare to spill it on the floor in the hope of putting it back in the glass). That’s is liquid which falls in the category of fluids. Further heating accelerates the evaporation process and by this time, the atoms have gained kinetic energy too much to be at a certain place. The atomic-motion no longer remains vibrating or linear; it becomes random. That’s gas which also fall in the category of fluids.

If you further heat the matter (which is now gas) provided that you can provide enough heat, the atoms would loose their electrons (which too have gained too much kinetic energy). Now the matter is random motion of atoms (with no electrons) and electrons freely moving (and not bound to any atom). That’s plasma state which is found immensely at cosmic level. We also have house Plasma-TVs (this plasma is artificially prepared of course and is a good waste-bin for dumping radioactive wastes).

To conclude, the semi-solid state is a fluid as is the gas and liquid state. Hope that satisfies.
